Hey All,

I just migrated a MySQL database to Postgres. I used the mysql2pgsql
application to convert my MySQL data into Postgres-friendly data. The BLOB
data I had in the MySQL database converted into the text datatype for
postgres. I'd like to know if Postgres supports BLOBs and if not, what
datatype should I use in place of BLOBs?

Thanks for any help,
Peter
